Call to pray for persecuted church

Christians around the world will join in prayer for the persecuted church on 1 November.

The day of prayer has been organised by Barnabas Fund, which provides support to Christians suffering for their faith.

The charity has created an interactive map where Christians planning to pray on the day can post up the locations and details of their gatherings so that others may attend.

Christians in Malawi, Malaysia, Romania, Bangladesh, and the Philippines are among those planning to take part so far. Read more
